One idea is to have a linux/asterisk version on the flash drive that
boots and load everything into memory, with ramdisk et all. Similar to a
linux/asterisk bootable from CD. But with the flash disk you can
configure asterisk without the need to burn another CD or use a flacky
floppy... The flash disk is only read when the machine boots. You can
write to it for configuration data... 1 million times will last much
more than a regular hard disk this way. But you will still need a hard
disk for voicemails...
